Answer
Hello,

it's difficult to say without seeing the car, but the noise could be the transmission and the rear differential, they are worn out...
The problem with the temp could be caused by many ways, check all the fuses, that the fan works, check the radiator liquid, and the thermostat.

Hope this helps!
